Time Warner Cable customers will get 240 hours of free tennis

Time Warner will allow subscribers affected by the CBS (CBS) blackout access to the Tennis Channel from Aug. 26 to Sept. 9 at no additional cost. Time Warner subscribers will be able to watch live matches of the U.S. Open tennis tournament and additional coverage of the event. This will give subscribers 240 hours of free tennis. Time Warner subscribers won’t be able to watch the men’s and women’s finals on the Tennis Channel, CBS has exclusive rights to those matches, reports Reuters.

This likely won’t stop many Time Warner customers, who have found unique ways to get around the CBS blackout.

The blackout of CBS channels by Time Warner Cable has lasted 19 days, which surpasses the two-week shutdown of Fox by Cablevision Systems (CVC) back in 2010.

CBS shares were up 3% as of Thursday morning, continuing a 37% year-to-date run.
